Murray vs Djokavic - I say .......he's finally gone and done it

The also ran comes in first. Amidst all the gnashing of teeth, the snarling, the grimacing, there shouldn't be a dry eye in the house ....should there? He never dominated, never took control or played like a champion but yes, at last, he's finally gone and done it so good for him and his mummy.

You must have watched a different match than I did

Also ran - already holds the US Open
IMHO if you have nothing positive to say about a British champion, it is better to say nothing

There will still be people who deride him because of his low-key personality... ok he's not exactly a fireblazer when it comes to charisma but at the end of the day he got the job done, and in stunning fashion. Seems to me we haven't moved on much from the gladiatorial arena for some where they look for charismatic hero-worship rather than appreciating the ability of the person.

Indeed - he did well and, at last not only is the 77-year wait over for a British Champion but also it's the end of the Championship but the press is (and will be) still referring to him as a Briton instead of as the Scot who got knocked out ;)

He's just beaten the world number one. Even in success we have to knock him, even though he won in straight sets, just for once lets celebrate a guy whos' worke bloody hard to get where he is. As has already been said, he won in three sets not four with a close decider of a fifth, that he just scraped home in, if that isn't takiing control I don't know what is.

You're a bit of a twit sometimes aren't you? ;)
Attitudes like this are not what made Britain great. I have no interest in tennis or any other sport, but an achievement, especially a long awaited one, is something to be celebrated not nit picked.
Well done to Murray. :)

Yes - well done, Andy Murray! I thought up to a couple of years ago he didn't seem to be in quite the same bracket as the likes of Jokovic, Nadal and Federer but he has definitely proven his ability to 'dig deep' as they say and become a real champ!
To beat Jokovic in straight sets was impressive. I used to think only players like Jokovic could produce those staggeringly brilliant shots from nowhere but now Murray seems just as capable of producing the same amazing quality.
It was nice to witness the gracious sportsmanship of Jokovic who is still a great champion for Murray or anyone else to reckon with. :)
